Ah, I was looking at the Forecast. If somehow Graham, McConnell and Trump go, I can't begin to imagine how great that would be.

It's a pleasant surprise seeing Harrison have a fair shot in Graham's senate seat. Assuming Alabama flips red; South Carolina, Maine, Arizona, and Colorado, and the VP will sufficiently flip the Senate.

How is this fucker so pathetic? Dude's in charge of the Senate Judiciary Committee. All he'd have to do to get more funds is tell the GOP "either you give me my money or you aren't getting that nice empty Supreme Court seat filled."

He seems to have hit a sweet spot of not being enough of a toady for the Trumpaloos, but still enough of a sycophant to fire up the opposition. For him to lose, there have to be a lot of Trump/Harrison voters or a pretty severe undervote in the Senate race.

Saw this earlier this week and he was right I do hate his fucking guts. Not only did I donate to his opponent I reached out to my cousin and niece in SC to make sure they were registered so they can vote against his ass.

You cant count on SC. Alabama is as good as gone. Dems have legit shots at North Carolina(dem leads 63-37), Colorado(72 - 28 for dem), Maine(59-41 for dem), Arizona(78-22 for dem), Iowa(53-47 for Republican). Dems will lose Alabama (77-23 for Republican) and some dems are worried about holding Michigan (78-22 for dem).

At the top of the decade Graham shared the "Maverick" title and reputation with McCain; the two together were seen as the conscience of the current Republican senate. In the circles that appreciated that, the current narrative is that McCain's death made Graham crack, hence his violent and dramatic swerve into being Trump's loyal lapdog.

I know it's bullshit, but it's not about reality, it's about perception. And I think a lot of Graham's current struggling is coming from that earlier perception of him being shattered so.

The thing is rumors about Graham's sexual preference isn't a new thing, nor do I doubt it's the first time someone tried to blackmail him for it.

Years ago there was a special in Vice news, I don't remember exactly the main topic but they had him on there for a minute to help explain the problem from a politics point of view. He did a compare/contrast to the 'war on terror' waging in other countries and was like 'Normally we would just have them killed' and all I remember was how callously he said it, not even for a hot take for the channel just very matter of fact. He's a piece of shit of the highest order.

-EDIT- lol. It was on Cybercrime, lol

Funny enough if he was in a non homophobic party he'd not be able to be blackmailed. Sucks for him!

If I'm understand 538 right, does this mean Harrison could potentially oust Senator Graham? Would be nice to read that his ass got booted out of Congress.

538 rate that as being an 18% chance, so a relatively low probability of happening, but still a relatively high probability for a Democrat in a Senate race in South Carolina. With Trump being the clear favourite to win in SC, though and with SC still having straight-ticket voting as an option, I don't think anyone should be expecting Graham to lose.

As a Canadian I WISH I could donate to his opposition. Incredibly pathetic. Fuck him, hope he gets voted out and oozes into obscurity for the rest of his days.

I never thought I'd see eye to eye with a conservative group, but the Lincoln Project seems like good people. I mean, even after a month of Trump and McConnel's emboldened Senate I would imagine any sane Republican would be like "wait, hold up....".

Poor Lindsay. Maybe people wouldn't think he is a spineless coward if he didn't trade every bit of moral integrity and respect had to shamelessly grovel and bootlick for Donald Trump a man who couldn't give two shits about Lindsay. The problem with being in cahoots with a bunch of grifters is they'll cut you loose the second you aren't useful to them.

They aren't. I don't mind them too much right now since they're helping to target some of the worst actors in modern politics, but really these are just people who want to roll the GOP back 15 years or so because they know abandoning dog whistles and saying the quiet part out loud isn't a winning strategy long term. They're just afraid that not doing this will destroy the party, but they're very much just as rotten.

It's so great that people are posting The Lincoln Project here. It makes conservatives feel more welcome. And gives people a chance to explore more of what the Lincoln Project does and supports. So good.

Yep because enjoying a video eviscerating Graham makes me susceptible to right wing propaganda. Oh lord help me, I fell down this slippery slope!

Just donated $25 to Harrison. I hope SC kicks that slimy bitch Lindsey to the curb come November.
